eclair
A scala implementation of the Lightning Network. Eclair is french for Lightning.
More precisely, this is an implementation of Rusty's deployable lightning. In particular it uses the same wire protocol, and almost the same state machine.
Overview
The general idea is to have an actor per channel, everything being non-blocking.
A "blockchain watcher" is responsible for monitoring the blockchain, and sending events (eg. when the anchor is spent).
Modules
- lightning-types: scala code generation using protobuf's compiler (wire protocol)
- eclair-demo: actual implementation
Usage
Prerequisites:
- A JRE or JDK depending on wether you want to compile yourself or not (preferably > 1.8)
- A running bitcoin-core (testnet or regtest)
⚠️ eclair demo currently runs on testnet or regtest only. Do not try and modify it to run on bitcoin mainnet!
Either run from source:
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=fr.acinq.eclair.Boot
Or grab the latest released jar and run:
java -jar eclair-demo_2.11-*-capsule-fat.jar
See TESTING.md for more details on how to use this software.
Available jvm options (see application.conf
for full reference):
eclair.server.port (default: 45000)
eclair.http.port (default: 8080)
eclair.bitcoind.rpcuser (default: foo)
eclair.bitcoind.rpcpassword (default: bar)
JSON-RPC API
method | params | description |
